SSI SCHAEFER at transport logistic 2017

IT knowledge plays a pivotal role in SSI SCHAEFER’s business strategy – a fact underlined by a dedicated stand for SSI Schäfer IT Solutions GmbH at the transport logistic 2017 trade fair (9th to 12th May in Munich). As intralogistics requirements grow increasingly complex, IT skills will be key to mastering the challenges of customers in various industries – and to developing high-performance, future-proof solutions.

Megatrends are driving complexity

The logistics industry faces a number of challenges. These include the ongoing e-commerce boom, process digitisation, and the game-changing impact of the fourth industrial revolution on transportation and manufacturing. SSI SCHAEFER is well placed to address these issues. It has a strong focus on specific customer and market imperatives. And it has concentrated and consolidated its IT skills in a dedicated entity.

An attractive provider of intralogistics software

SSI Schäfer IT Solutions GmbH was created to rapidly identify and respond to market needs. As Franz Bauer-Kieslinger, CEO of the new company, explains: “We are committed to being the best partner for intralogistics software – supporting customers with state-of-the-art technology, a global presence, and a dedication to exceptional quality.” SSI SCHAEFER is a certified SAP Silver Partner and has developed its own WAMAS® Warehouse Management System. The company is therefore an ideal choice for intralogistics software, particularly for complex environments with solutions from multiple vendors. SSI SCHAEFER ’s products are scalable and can be easily integrated with other technologies. At its stand at transport logistic, it will present its modular WAMAS® and SAP EWM software.

Smart software, excellent advice, great service

SSI SCHAEFER is one of the largest vendors of intralogistics software. It offers its customers expert advice based on their real-world needs – in conjunction with precise analysis and visualisation of their processes. The enterprise believes in customer centricity, which entails a total understanding of the specific intralogistics goals and processes of each business organisation. Consequently, SSI SCHAEFER ’s IT professionals work closely, and in a spirit of trust, with its customers. This is the basis for the rapid development of smart, made-to-measure solutions. SSI Schaefer not only designs and builds systems to extremely high standards, it also offers excellent training, and operates a global 24/7 service network.

IFOY award ceremony at transport logistic

SSI SCHAEFER and partner IDENTYTEC have been nominated for the International Forklift Truck of the Year (IFOY) Award for their innovative automated driverless delivery (ADD) solution for fully automated replenishment based on AGVs. The end-to-end system for light and heavy load containers significantly increases automation and flexibility in manufacturing and warehousing. The nominees completed the IFOY Test and Innovation Check over the course of a week in March in the city of Munich. The winners will be selected on the basis of system performance, innovativeness, ergonomics and safety; they will be announced at an award ceremony on 9th May at transport logistic2017.
